7 - 7 - The exam for the last section (Altered States of Consciousness) will be given final exam week: Monday, December 8 at 1:30 in our regular classroom. Like test 1 it will only be a half-test worth 50 points. IV. Tests and Grading Eight examinations will be given totaling 700 points. The first and last tests are only worth 50 points each. The other six tests are worth 100 points each. I reserve the right to ask multiple choice questions over material not covered in class (read and study your text). Total Points Grade Pct of Total Points A B C D or less F 53.9 or lower VI. Make-ups: Make-ups for the first seven tests will be Monday, November 24 (the Monday of Thanksgiving week) at your regular class time. If you took all of the exams when they were originally scheduled this is a free day for you. Only two make-ups will be allowed. A score of zero will be recorded for the 3rd and 4th missed exams. VI. Attendance. Attendance is not required. However it is strongly recommended that you attend class and take notes as all of the examination material may not be covered in the text. If you decide to attend class (and I believe you will find it worthwhile) I expect that you will not engage in any activities which are distracting to me or to your fellow students. One activity which I believe to be distracting is cell phone usage. I do not want to see or hear your cell phone during class. Please remember to turn off your cell phone and put it away before class. There should be no text messaging, taking of calls or cell-phone ringing. If you forget to turn off the ringer once, I ll understand. If I have to warn you again about your cell phone ringing, or texting, or it not being put away, I reserve the right to deduct 10 points from your semester point total. The same rules apply to other electronic devices such as video games or any tablets or personal computers used for anything other than taking notes. VII. Miscellaneous A. IMPORTANT DATES Drop dates: Students who drop a course after the fifth day of class and through October 3rd will receive a grade of "W". You are no longer allowed to drop a class after October 3.

Prerequisite: PSY 1013 Course Description: This course will provide an advanced introduction to the major alternative theories of personality that have been proposed in the 20 th century. It will review a variety of theories, empirical literature, clinical applications, and personality measures that contribute to understand personality. The format of this course is lecture. Specifically, you will be expected to (1) study class materials posted on the class webpage, (2) read assigned readings, (3) complete assignments independently, and (4) actively participate in class discussions. Students are encouraged to share their ideas, thoughts, experiences, and questions in a professional, open-minded, and respectful manner that helps understanding of the class materials. Course Objectives: The primary objective of this course is to familiarize students with a variety of the influential personality theories advanced in psychology throughout the past century. Students will acquire foundational understanding and knowledge of the following personality theories: Psychoanalytical Perspective (i.e., Freud), Neo-psychoanalytical Perspectives (i.e., Jung, Adler, Erickson), Humanistic Perspectives (i.e., Maslow, Rogers) and Behavioral/Cognitive Perspectives (i.e., Skinner, Rotter, and Bandura). Certain theories will be emphasized more than others due to their influence and status in the field of psychology today. This course will place an emphasis on discussion, critical thinking, and application with regard to these theories. Another objective of this course is to familiarize students with several personality measures (i.e., MMPI, Rorschach, 16 PF, MBTI). Learning Outcomes:

11 11 Upon completion of this course, students will; (1) learn a variety of the influential personality theories advanced in psychology throughout the past century, (2) learn a general, connected, and reflective approach to understanding personality, (3) learn how to strive for a coherent and balanced view of personality that arises from different theoretical perspectives, and (4) learn how to criticize each personality theory scientifically.

Students who miss class are responsible for the class materials covered, handouts, homework assignments, and any announcements or examinations. Creating distractions (i.e., talking, reading newspaper, hand-phones, cell-phone ringing, etc.) may result in nullification of attendance. I will randomly check your attendance about 5 times this semester. Each attendance is worth 4 bonus points. Late arrival or early departure will be considered as absence. There is no legitimate excuse (i.e., sick) for your absence because you are not losing points, but earning bonus points for your attendance. Cell-phones should be turned off during class/exam. If you expect an emergency call, you must inform me prior to class. Plagiarism: Plagiarism is passing off someone else s work (either in the exact words or in paraphrase) as your own without giving credit to the original worker. Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic standards. Committing plagiarism will result in no credit for the work. Any repeat of the plagiarism will result in an automatic F grade for the course. Four Exams: The exams will consist of multiple choice, matching, identification and short essay questions. Each exam will be worth a total of 100 points. The exams are not cumulative. Test scores will be posted within 48 hours using your 4 digit ID numbers you will be asked to make and turn in before the first test (i.e., neither student ID nor SSN). Make-up exams: Makeup exams for the four tests will be on 12/04/2014 (11:10-12:30 pm) A maximum of two makeup exams will be allowed. That is, those who missed more than two tests will receive a score of zero for the 3 rd and 4 th exams they missed. There is no make-up exam for make-up exams!

12 12 Final Paper/Exam: The exam is optional and cumulative. The exam is a comprehensive essay take-home test that can replace your lowest test.

Violating this code may result in either being asked to leave class for the day or being dropped from the course at the instructor s discretion. Therefore, I expect the highest level of professionalism from all students in my class. I expect that you will come to class well prepared and on time. Unprofessional conduct includes (but not limited to) being late for class, frequently being absent, failing to bring your textbook, inappropriate use of computers in class, excessive use of messages, sleeping in class, showing disrespectful behavior toward the instructor and others, and/or leaving the classroom while we are in session (except the case of emergency or prior arrangement with your instructor). All electronic devices not needed for class activities should be turned off and put away. Throughout this semester we will be focusing

28 28 heavily on one another s strengths so it is important that all students support one another as they discover their innate talents. Personal Responsibility: If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get the information you missed from a classmate. All requirements must be completed on their due dates. Points will be deducted for any reason unless a dire emergency exists. Under such circumstances, please notify me as soon as possible and be prepared to show documentation as appropriate.

Course Requirements: Total 150 points will be available in this class. - Attendance/Classroom Participation (30 points total) Your active participation is essential in this course. This includes regular attendance, keeping up with the assigned reading, and willing participation in class discussions. The main focus of this class will be centered on classroom discussions, and you are expected to be engaged in the content being discussed. Repeated tardiness (e.g., minutes late all the time) may result in a loss of 1 point. You are allowed three, unexcused absence and then each absence after that will result in a loss of 2 participation points. An absence will be excused only if 1) proof, such as a doctor s note, is furnished by the student and 2) I receive e- mail notification before the missed class meeting.

29 29 Attendance Policy: The UAM catalogue states that regular class attendance is considered an essential part of the students educational experience and a requirement for adequate evaluation of academic progress. Please keep in mind that, students who do not attend class regularly cannot expect to do well in class. While I take attendance, it is considered an official part of your grade. Attendance is normally taken by sign-in sheets; students who forge or falsify sign-in sheets will be penalized at the instructor s discretion. As a general rule, students who miss more than 10% of the class sessions, that will affect your attendance grade. If you know you will have more than 3 unexcused/excused absences, please consult me as soon as possible. Four Chapter Tests (30 points each 120 points total) Four chapter tests will be given throughout this semester. Each test will be based on your lectures and the textbook. The tests will be 20 multiple-choices questions, 5 T/F questions, 3 short-answer questions, and 2 short-essay questions. Each test will be worth 30 points and the grading scale is listed on the next page. Materials not covered in class won t be in the chapter tests. We will have a review session before we take a chapter test. Last chapter test will be given during the final exam period. Make-ups: Make-ups for any of the first three chapter tests will be on Tuesday, November 25. If you took all of the chapter tests and are satisfied with your current grade, this is a free day for you. Only one make-up out of the first three chapter tests will be allowed. The final exam, which is the 4 th chapter test, is mandatory you must take it during the final exam period. No make-up for the final exam will be given for any reason.
